BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
avik-sengupta1988 Its a must watch experience. I dont understand why few people gave negetive reviews. Its a good film owing to its uncommon storyline
Aparna Gangopadhyay Main characters: Dev, Reena ; Dolly, RanjitDev is the husband of Reena. Arranged marriage. Reena had a lover (Ranjit) who had left her suddenly and when he returned, he had married a filthy rich lady - because of her money of course. Dolly was an alcoholic and suspected her good looking husband (Ranjit) - she thought he was having an affair elsewhere - she thought right. Dolly treated Ranjit like a dog and expected him to always wag his tail in front of her - or else she would stop giving him his pocket money! So basically Ranjit was an unemployed good-for-nothing male who had no brains - just a good face and body - thus had no job and all he did was lick the feet of his rich in-laws.Since he was being treated like a dog at home, Ranjit found out that his ex-lover - Reena was married to a non-descriptive male (Dev) and she was basically unhappy. Ranjit gets in touch with Reena and continue having fun and sex in the house of Dev - while he was in office.Dev had a weird problem of his own - being married to a sexy siren - he still could not perform on bed! He was probably suffering form erectile dysfunction. He tried to masturbate with the pictures of equally non-descriptive photographs of females - those lying on the desks of his colleagues - yet failed at it. This reveals a very alarming quality of males...that they actually don't need a sexy siren to get turned on - just any picture can do for them! Meaning our world is unnecessarily spending millions on making a female look sexy and clicking her pictures and selling Men's magazines with those sexy pictures! It is not required at all - males do not need smooth skin or voluptuous sexy figure....jsut anyone can do for them.....well - that is what Dev (Irfan) revealed in this film!Anyway the film proceeds - Dev happens to witness his wife in a compromising position with her lover and he starts blackmailing him (Ranjit). Ranjit starts blackmailing Reema in turn- so Reema extracts the same amount of money Dev had extracted from Ranjit to returns him back to him...this way the same money was rotating in different hands! Film also showed that people who know you well or know your secrets are actually the ones who screw you tight! Colleagues of Dev also start blackmailing him.At the end - providence punished the wicked and the evil people amply - and Dev escaped from all the miseries smoothly!Special Mention: Dev's boss. Shown as an extremely dumb man who is foreign returned and comes up with dumb ideas and spends thousands to materialize his dumb ideas - bribes Govt. officials to get his work done...but ultimately fails miserably! The dullard was trying to introduce toilet papers to Indians! There is no dearth of water in India - at least to wash ad clean....yet he thought it was a groovy idea to introduce toilet papers to those Indians who don't even have the concept of toilet...they go out with a lota to answer nature's call!End of story.
binducherungath Abhinay Deo's Blackmail, a black comedy film, does not turn out to be a promising film. Abhinav Deo's Delhi Belly had become a box-office hit. He has tried the same genre in this film as well, but the film picks up only at certain shots. Irrfan Khan is a great actor and he generally brings his punches to the characters he plays on screen. But in blackmail, even his punches were missing in most of the places, could be due to the screenplay. The premise of the film is interesting that when a husband accidentally discovers his wife having an affair, how he deals with the same? Instead of confronting with his wife, he chooses to blackmail her. How does this blackmail impact his wife, wife's boyfriend and how do they respond back is shown in rest of the film. Rather the trailer revealed the flow of the film. The film suffers from repetition syndrome. The initial parts of the film seemed interesting. Dev (Irrfan Khan) is trapped in his mundane routine. He prefers to play games on computer in office till late evenings rather than going back home to his loveless marriage. His wife Reena (Kriti Kulhari) is shown to be very detached towards Dev and she is just bothered to know whether Dev paid the TV bill or not. Dev has a list of his expenses written viz. loan emi, bills etc. Dev wished sincerely that his relationship with Reena improves. So, one day, he decided to surprise his wife by reaching home early and that is when he finds his wife in bed with her lover Ranjeet (Arunodaya Singh). Dev decides to blackmail Ranjeet.Rest of the film is all about how the events unfold when Dev starts the blackmailing. Dev's blackmailing leads to a series of blackmails. It gets very repetitive and the film starts suffering as far as the content, pace, dialogues etc. are concerned. The subplots seemed forced. Irrfan Khan and Arunodya Singh rescue the film from being a boring one. Divya Dutt has done justice to her role, but her role itself seemed absolutely out of place in the film. Kriti is ok. The subplots involving Dev's boss Omi Vaidya's plans to capture the .market for toilet rolls did not add magic to the film. It is sad that Urmila Matondkar's item song is absolutely forgettable. Abhinav Deo's Blackmail suffers from repetition syndrome. Irrfan and Arunodaya do add value to the film with their presence. The premise of the film is interesting but it does not pick up.
kunu-54431 What a non sense movie... an 8 year can do better than this.. very frustrating, humiliating and embarrasing.. very cheap category.. main actor is portrayed as nymphomaniac... Utter waste...
